Beads, I've had a life long fear of needles too. I've managed to boost myself enough to not cry when I get blood work or vaccines anymore. But I still do get very dizzy during and after its over. I bring juice with me since the time a nurse told me that my body will likely always react this way.
Now the one time I got an IV to break my migraine I sobbed like a baby until the drugs knocked me out. I don't think I'll ever be OK with them.
Be brave Beads!! You'll get through it. Just think of all blood tests we need once we get our bfp....we'll be pros by the end of it.
And Cntry, if you didn't ovulate until later that would explain the bfn....but not why you got the +opk way early.
